[Sherdog] PRIDE For Sale? Ed Fishman Hopes So

From Sherdog.com, an interesting interview with Ed Fishman, a possible buyer for Pride and current Pride USA president. Check out what he has to say about China:

Sherdog.com: As owner of PRIDE, if that happens, do you think it’ll run similarly to the way it is now, where it’s largely Japan-based, or will Japan not be as important a market for you?

Fishman: I haven’t given it a lot of thought, but there are so many fans I never thought of stopping going to Japan. I think we’d get back television, get back a sponsorship and we are delving very heavy into China. The U.S. is so important to us. And besides China, we will be taking other Asian countries and move around the globe.
Throughout the interview, Ed Fishman explains how he wants to bring MMA to casinos. And the asian answer to Las Vegas is Macao, so I think you can expect new developments over there soon.
